2023 marks another momentous occasion for all animal lovers fighting against animal cruelty as California officially announced the ban on real fur sales as of January 1, 2023. And the list of retail brands that have pledged to not use or sell real animal fur keeps growing! (Woohoo!!) In the spirit of celebration and the fact that there are like a bazillion brands hopping on the faux fur movement, we want to share some of our favorite cruelty-free women’s fake fur fashion coats out there.

What is Faux Fur?

Faux fur, also known as fake fur, is a synthetic blend that simulates the look and feel of real fur. The most incredible benefit of fake fur is the lack of animal cruelty involved. When you select a high-quality fake fur, you may be shocked how close it comes to the real thing. Faux fur also offers an array of colors, patterns, and styles at a fraction of the cost of real fur.

Choosing High-Quality Fake Fur

Not quite convinced artificial fur can look and feel as satisfying as the real deal? It’s all in the synthetic fiber quality and manufacturing process. The manufacturing process can offer incredible softness, reduced shedding, fur resilience, and high-quality pile length and weight when done right.

Synthetic fibers used to create faux fur include:

Acrylic

Modacrylic 

Polyester

A blend of artificial and natural fibers

How Can You Help Save Endangered Animals?

The fur-free movement is ongoing, and we have plenty of work to do. It takes all of us to protect the lives of so many animals being barbarically and inhumanely killed just to be worn.

We hope you'll join us and others in our activism for global change in making real fur in fashion obsolete! By educating yourself, sharing with others, and donating your time and efforts, we can be the voice of these fur babies.

Joining Forces with Brands and Organizations

The fur-free movement has spread to iconic brands like Prada, Versace, Calvin Klein, and Chanel, who have all committed to going fur-free. Supporting these brands means helping us in the fight against animal cruelty and extinction.

We partner with some fantastic organizations that work tirelessly to save endangered animals. These groups provide education, spread awareness, and help rehome and rehabilitate these magnificent animals. We urge you to take a look at the work they are doing. Won’t you join them in the fight to save the animals?
